Today, my dad called me a "deadbeat loser" after I came back from my first day of voluntary rehab for my meth problem. He's never had a job in his life and sits on the sofa all day, smoking weed and playing video games, all on my mom's salary. FML

and the question is, op's complaining about his dad not doing anything. yet he/she is going to voluntary rehab which, since it's not court ordered, has to be paid for by yourself. so who's paying for that? also I don't imagine op has a job if ops addicted to meth. so he really has no room to talk. but neither does the dad.

Oh trust me. Tweakers can hold down jobs, I have worked with quite a few in my day (Unfortunately none of them were even remotely close to wanting rehab) most of them just stole valuables from the elderly we took care of. Thankfully they all were fired eventually. Sadly not until years had passed and too many old ladies lost heirloom jewelry.

#1- I hope you never have to go through addiction or any of your loved ones. OP is at least trying to better them self, which is a lot more than most people can say; including you. Being nasty to a person doesn't make you a better of a human being.

#87, he might realize that he's a sad loser and he just doesn't want his son to end up like him. Even a murderer or something even worse could do that, so I don't doubt that this father couldn't be looking out for his son the best way he can because he's a weed smoking bum.

It's amazing what assholes some of you can be!! Having an addiction and being strong enough to admit and trying to better yourself is admirable. At least OP is trying to make changes to become a better person. The old saying "never judge a book by its cover" is something some of you should really think about.

OP, congratulations on taking that 1st step to better your life!! I wish you the best :)

143, even weed is considered a drug. Pharmaceuticals are drugs, alcohol & tobacco are considered drugs. A drug is a substance that has a physiological effect besides on the body/mind when consumed that is not a food. Before calling someone an idiot & telling them to do their research, look up your own research.

Yeah, truly shows a strong character if you're brave enough to fight such a tremendous addiction. I mean, people struggle to quit smoking and drinking and fail at that, and that doesn't even come close to the challenge quitting a drug like meth presents.
